CT foreclosure auctions, year to date through Aug 24 vs the same stretch of 2025.
Recorded sales:
2025: 277 sales, median 16% under appraised FMV
2026: 211 sales, median 21% under appraised FMV
About 1 in 3 this year closed 30%+ under FMV (61 of 204).
2026 completed-sales counts are preliminary. There is a lag in what gets reported to the judicial website, so this year’s total will most likely increase as more sales are filed. Don’t read the lower count as a dead calendar. The clean signal so far: when they sell, the cut vs FMV is deeper than last year.
You can only be at one Saturday noon sale.
